So, they are gathering about 3,000 activists to sing, pray, and reiterate their plea to end legal abortion in the U.S. right across the street from his home — the White House — in Lafayette Park the evening before the Jan. 22 march marking the anniversary of the 1973 decision legalizing abortion in the United States. Participants also will be car- rying fl ashlights in lieu of lit candles, which are not allowed in the park. It’s the fi rst time in the history of the march that organizers have scheduled a White House vigil the evening before the main event, even though Obama is not the only U.S. president in the past 37 years who supports keeping abortion legal.

  • Liberation Unto Freedom
    LIBERATION UNTO FREEDOM REFLECTION CONCERNING THE MANDATE OF THE CHURCH - Giancarlo Collet ("Christian faith remains related to Jesus, because in him, the intent and purpose of freedom is made explicit as being unconditional love". ..Giancarlo Collet's article, translated from the original German by Mrs. Antonia Fonseca, examines the mandate of the Church to mediate God's unconditional acceptance of man. She can only do this if she is herself a community of liberated individuals. The copious references have been confined to actual quotations due to limitations of space.Ed1 Introduction Theological reflection concerning freedom, if it is not to miss its point, must start with an analysis of real freedom, i.e. it must be placed in a context of social and political and - last but not least - ecclesiastical freedom or liberation. Even if in this article this analysis itself is not made but rather presupposed, at least its implications will be mentioned. The social conditions where the Church must accomplish her mission in the world can be defined as follows : CONTEXT OF FREEDOM (1) World unity: From the beginning of modern times, the world is on the way to unity. The growing interdependences in the social, political and econaaic spheres as well as in the field of communication technology have brought about an increase in collateral interdependence. Structures and institut- ions have increased their power to a certain extent while, at the same time, the immediate dependence of human beings slides more and more into anonymity. (2) European and American influence: The process of world-unification we are now witnessing occurs under the pressure of circumstances, because the influence-Of-the pattern of European and American ways of life and interests on the non-western world is a threat to other peoples' chances of developing freely and creatively, if they still desire to do so and are not already fascinated with or blinded by western modes of living.
